so I checked it out real quick...

In the summer of 2017, PBS's Finding Your Roots discovered through genealogical research that David and Bernie Sanders are distantly related. Sanders told David the news. "I was very happy about that," David said, according to Variety. "I thought there must have been some connection." The comedian explained that Sanders is "a third cousin or something."

Then again, if you go back far enough I guess we're ALL related.

Which means somewhere in our distant past Trump is in our family trees. Just stop and think about THAT for a second. Ugh.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
